Add Schema Markup to Shopify
To add custom schema markup to shopify store, you simply need to find the JSON-LD format schema markup that suits your niche and business type, update with your store, product, and organization meta data and put in your Shopify theme’s header.liquid file.
After updating JSON-LD markup, you need to validate your schema with Google schema checker tool.
Add Shopify Product Schema
To add product schema to your shopify store. First customize JSONLD schema for your specific product and place it in single-product.liquid product template and save the file.
Now, to verify it. Google for ‘Google Schema Checker Tool’ and test your shopify product page URL. If you get errors/warnings or duplicate product schema; simply fix them.
